Rob new sphere (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orb

'sphere' is the definition.
(I know that orb is a type of sphere)

'rob new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'rob' with letters rearranged gives 'ORB'.

(Other definitions for orb that I've seen before include "The World" , "Sphere for a sovereign" , "Poetically eye" , "Ornamental globe" , "Item of royal regalia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
